I'm trying to configure Remote Notification to send a message to my SprintPCS cell phone. I use AOL as my email service. Could you tell me how to set this up? I keep getting multiple errors when I try a test message.

I guess I'm not sure what to put in for the Mail Server Settings, or which boxes to check.

smwoodward, why don't you try your scenario where you got lots of messages telling you anti-virus is disabled, and watch what happens in Remote Notification? I think you'll see the answer to your questions about the WHS event behavior.

I don't know exactly what behavior you experienced. My experience with WHS notifying me of antivirus is that it only re-issues the event when either the client or server are restarted. You said you were installing lots of apps after reloading the OS -- I'm guessing you were rebooting the client periodically after installing drivers or apps, which would cause WHS to issue a new notification, hence you'd get the new mail. In this case, it's not the same notification refreshing, it's a new notification for the same problem being issued and then closed.

But, my email service is AOL, not Verizon. Verizon DSL is just my ISP. I guess I'll just wait on getting this to work. I'm moving in a few weeks and my ISP is going to change to Verizon FIOS. Maybe I'll have better luck then.

To the best of my knowledge, all ISPs provide you with a default user account that includes an email address. You don't have to regularly use the email address to utilize your ISP's SMTP server...

Yes, you are correct, but I have no idea what that email address might be. As stated, I'll just wait until I switch to FIOS in a few weeks. However, I don't see why I need to use Verizon's SMTP server. I have Windows Live Messaging setup to recieve and send emails via AOL's SMTP server with no problem.

Do you not get an error dialog pop up when you attempt to send a sample notification? If so, then press "Printscreen" on your keyboard, paste that into Paint, save as jpg, and upload here via the attachment mechanism.

OK, a screen shot of the error message is attached. Again, Thanks for all your help and patience.

I'm no SMTP expert, but that looks like you probably have everything configured correctly, but the AOL SMTP server is rejecting you for some reason. I did read some posts that their SMTP server sometimes rejects sending mails.

I'd suggest trying to find your Verizon SMTP server login and email account; you don't have to actually use that account, just send the emails via it.
